Juana Judith Bustos Ahuite (born 22 November 1945 in Constancia, Loreto Region, Perú) is best known as La Tigresa del Oriente (lit. Spanish for The Eastern Tigress, the "east" being the Peruvian Amazon) is a singer, hairdresser, actress, makeup artist and model. Due to the popularity of her videos on YouTube (the video for her single "Nuevo Amanecer" surpassed the 10-million-hit mark in 2009), she has become an internet meme and reached some international fame.
La Tigresa is known for her leopard garb, makeup and appearance, and for the choreographies staged by her dancing troupe, which includes three women and one man. Her first single "Nuevo amanecer (New Dawn)" became an Internet meme in Latin America.
Her videos for her first recording are unique, if low in budget, and were filmed in the Peruvian jungle with her "exotic" dancers. Other singles from Bustos include: "Mi canoa", "Carnaval en Iquitos", "Trabaja flojo trabaja", "Anaconda", "Tránsfuga de mi amor", "Hombre de Madera", and "Homenaje al Papa Juan Pablo II."
In 2011, she released her second record label plate Fiesta Felina, and later that same year took the English version of "Nuevo amanecer", entitled "New brighter day".
